Of course this is why we have so many drunken driver accidents on the road.
I think a better analogy would be why so many people get lost on the road looking for their destination.
Good thing for GPS. So people without a natural sense of direction should not drive? maybe they shouldn't?
People don't know their limits -
So are you implying one should not push themselves?, one should just give up if they have trouble with a subject? hmmmm
Or should they keep trying to learn the subject better until they become more comfortable?? and perhaps one day excel at it?
"I have not failed 1000 times!!!! I have simply discovered 1000 ways that will not work"
yeah, I like that POV better..........
And they want to do volume integration
Good thing for solid modeling software, So I bet you memorized all the trig ratios? and you don't use a calculator when you need to find one?
after-all if you didn't memorize them all, you are
limiting yourself. Using a chart or a calculator is most certainly cheating since one who need technology to solve problem obviously does not have the
aptitude. And you do Riemann sums in your head
since even using a pad and pencil is cheating? using a calculator certainly is.
It is the bartender's fault - the road was too curvy or the book was lousy or the instructor was inept. It is never the fault of the idiot who walked in with eyes closed.
When you take a course without proper background - you may get a paper from one of those for-profit-universities - that will be worthless. In the real world you will be asked to prove your mettle. If you can't - which you won't since you don't have the aptitude for it - your ambition or your trying hard won't count.
You will be replaced!!
You totally missed my point, It's as if you are implying one should get a 4.0 or nothing..... good luck with that. Maybe schools should have pass/fail. Pass = 4.0 anything less than a 100%....epic fail 0.0 quality points. Good idea?
It's as if you are implying someone who uses a computer should be an expert on all aspects of it or they shouldn't use it. I suppose before logging on to our Dell with windows 7 we should be able to design and fabricate CPUS too?...... as well as design operating systems from scratch using nothing but microcode? After all if you are not able to dope silicon wafers and expose bare reticles via photo-lithography to make a mask prior to etching, you most certainly do not have the aptitude to use firefox to post on a message board.
Lastly, a college degree aside from the "knowledge" that goes with it, also displays a students perseverance and ability to finish a task all awhile multitasking and being psychologically abused by professors. A nice attribute to have in the REAL world workplace. Unfortunately no college degree guarantees an employer that a perspective employee/(former student) possesses the most important attributes; which are creativity and imagination ... Too bad they don't "teach" that at Universities. College is great place for people who have the ability to regurgitate large amounts of information without mental obstacle. Finally College is a place where people who have failed to apply their knowledge tend to hide. It's much easier to just recite the same thing over and over again, As long as you have the aptitude for regurgitating and don't have the courage to explore new topics you may not have the
aptitude for.
The thing I find most intriguing about College and professors in general, is their pompous condescending attitudes towards students who naturally struggle with a topic, and not from lack of effort. I find it odd that these same professors who have no "limits" and have a vast "aptitude", weren't the chaps who came up something as simple as "facebook" or "Craig's list" or the pet rock?? What about rubic's cube? I mean instead of making billions of dollars on a simple idea requiring virtually no investment, they would rather make menial wages teaching trigonometry at a community college... makes a lot of sense... to me at-least since I am "limited".
Good day sir.......... thanks to you,March 26th shall forever be: "Discourage a student day".........
